"Do ye smell something… burning?" Elizabeth sniffed a little then saw that her vanity was on fire; she let out a shrill scream.

"THE CANDLE! AAAAHHH!! WHAT DO WE DOO?!?!?!" The three of them backed away from the fire and Will said weakly

"Liz? You're not by any chance going to surprise us and say that the fire will go out by itself, will you?"

"I'm afraid not…" She just then heard several thumping feet run up the stairs. She pushed Will and Jack into a closet hurriedly.

"Hide! Stay quiet!" Just then 3 servant girls ran in to the room and screamed obviously not knowing what to do.

"Well? Aren't you going to do something?!" Elizabeth yelled, coughing at the smoke. It was steadily getting more difficult to breathe. The three girls just screamed again.

"Oh for the love of god…" Elizabeth said as she ran out of the room dragging the girls out with her and running down the stairs.

"We need water! Go fill up a bucket for each of you and I'll soak a blanket, hurry!" the girls ran off to do what they were instructed in panic and tears.

Meanwhile in the closet Will was starting to panic as well as smoke started coming in through the cracks of the door. Jack was backed into the lowest corner of the closet having more experience with fires that Will and pull him down to the floor as well.

"Jack!! We're going to die aren't we? We're going to die a horrible painful firey death and out flesh with blister and scorch and all that will be left are our mangled burnt bodies and ashes and-" Jack Slapped Will who looked at him dumbstruck.

"Thanks. I needed that." Jack nodded solemnly and continued waiting in silence.

Elizabeth ran into a closet reaching for a blanket and throwing it into a basin of water and breathing quickly, she ran back upstairs and flew into the room after sucking in deep breath in the clean air then threw the blanket on parts of the fire putting out a little at a time. Soon the girl came up and threw the buckets of water on the largest parts of the fire succeeding in dimming it then Elizabeth's blanket took care of the rest. The smoke fireless smoke began flowing out the window and the air became more breathable.

Liz shooed the girls away with a wave of the hand before collecting herself and opening the closet door.

"All better." Will and Jack looked at each other remembering hwy they were hear. Jack prompter Will slightly and he looked up.

"No Elizabeth. It's not."

"What are you talking of, Will?"

"Elizabeth I'm leaving."

"L-leaving? I don't understand…."

Will continued as if he had not been interrupted

"But only for a bit, with Jack and then we'll come back very soon."

"But to what cause, Will! What could be your business in Tortuga?"

Will looked to Jack for help but Jack just looked away, twiddling his thumbs, he then looked back to Elizabeth.

"I…" Elizabeth came to a conclusion and said stubbornly

"If you leave to that pirate ridden place with Jack, a pirate, when you return Commodore will have your head."

Will looked at her disbelievingly

"He wouldn't know unless you told him…"

Elizabeth did not speak.

"You wouldn't." Elizabeth continued to stare straight ahead.

"Elizabeth…"

"I wont let you leave Will. I can't let you leave. Not after all we've been through just to get this far, all those risks for nothing? You've got to be kidding! It's ridiculous. Why would you want to go? To get away from me? Are you bored with this life? Maybe you're too impatient to marry …" Elizabeth looked up in realization and said, her voice between anger and distress 

"You… you… You want t-to," She continued in hushed tones her voice shaking with rage

"You want to go buy a bloody whore don't you? You just can't possibly wait until the wedding?" Will looked down suddenly very ashamed of even letting the thought cross his mind also wondering if Elizabeth had always been this perceptive.

"I see you don't even want to try and deny it." She said eerily calm, she floated over to her vanity in a ghost like way and fingered at a heavy glass container of powder.

"Very rash, so very rash William Turner." She said as she picked up the container and holding it up near her face looking at it.

Jack realized what she had plans to do before will did apparently because he grabbed Will out of the way right as it came hurling at his head. This caused Elizabeth's attention to shift toward Jack who looked at her in fear.

"Now Lass don't be over reacting…"

"OVER REACTING?! PLEASE JACK, DEFINE OVER REACTING, BECAUSE I FEEL AS THOUGH I AM REACTING JUST ENOUGH!" She then flung several glass vials at him, missing narrowly and continued yelling at Jack who was now backed into a corner. She placed her foot on Jacks crotch and started pressing down harder and harder as she spoke.

"Now, I think… you should both… leave…" Jack was squeaking like a rubber duck by the time she was done and Will looked at her in horror, instinctively crouching over to protect his parts. Jack nodded vigorously and stood up then flung himself out the window to get away from Elizabeth. Will looked at Jack as he hit the ground with a thud and a barely audible uugh. Will looked apologetically at Elizabeth before plummeting himself out the window with a BANZAI!! All the while thinking that all of the previous trouble had been to avoid this…

Will landed in the bushes beside Jack, in doing so, escaping the bruises that Jack would have tomorrow. He stood slowly and looked up at the now closed window and walked over to Jack, attempting to help the man up but was shocked when Jack jumped up himself, looking as perky as ever acting as if nothing happened. Will wondered idly if the man was indestructible…

"Ya know Jack, If we hadn't come like I said, we could have saved ourselves from going through all that."

Jack nodded… then spoke

"Isn't it ironic?"

"Don't ya think?"

"A little too ironic."

"Yeah, I really do think…" (Authoress giggle) There was a contemplative silence while Sparrow and Turner walked off into the sunset (or sunrise… or moon… depending on what time it is…)

"I don't suppose we'll be coming back then, eh?"

"No lad, I don't suppose."

"We forgot your boot."

"I do suppose we have."

"We're not going back."

"I know."

"I'll buy you a new boot."

"Bloody right you will."

"To the pearl, then?"

"Where else?"

"Never coming back?"

"Never."

"you sure?"

"Very sure."

"So I'll never see my home again."

"Most likely."

"Never again?"

"Never again."

"Are you sure?"

"Do you like getting hit, boy?"

Will grinned sheepishly and they got close to the docks, Will could make out the pearl far into the distance, presumably that far in order to avoid attention. A fairly safe choice for the attention whore that is Jack.

"Stop thinking that."

"Thinking what?"

"You thought that I was an attention whore."

"I did not."

"You did I heard you."

"How can you hear me think?"

"I cant."

"Then how did you know I thought you were an attention whore?"

"I didn't."

"Oh."
